Often depicted riding a spectral black steed or driving the deathly Cóiste Bodhar (Silent Coach), the Dullahan is known today as a harbinger of death. But has this myth always been so clear-cut? 📌 In this episode, we explore: The origins of the Dullahan and how he differs from the Silent Coach tradition Four primary Dullahan tales from Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland A dramatic retelling of Hanlon’s Mill, where a headless coach arrives in a liminal place, bringing death without warning A disturbing vision of the headless dead in The Good Woman, where the Dullahan appears not as a reaper, but as a dancer at a deathly feast The evolution of the myth across oral tradition, Victorian romanticism, and Hollywood reinvention The Dullahan as a symbol of cosmic indifference, liminal terror, and death without explanation This episode also marks a shift in our video format, as I appear on camera for the first time - please be gentle! 💬 WHAT DO YOU THINK? Have you ever encountered a version of the Dullahan in popular culture? Was it faithful to the old myths, or something entirely new?
